About the game
What you do in a play session
This is a fully cooperative and standalone adventure, meaning you don't need other titles from the series to start playing. One of the biggest highlights is the lack of a game master; the system handles enemy AI and events, allowing everyone to focus on strategy and the brawl. With a modular board, every foray is different, forcing the group to constantly adapt to the terrain and the dangers ahead.
You'll need to manage your action points wisely to optimize movements and attacks, while rolling dice to decide if that critical hit will land or if you'll end up taking a nasty blow. The experience focuses on progression and tactical combat, blending the feeling of exploration with the adrenaline of facing enemies that seem impossible to defeat. If you love detailed miniatures, dark fantasy settings, and the feeling of character growth while facing relentless challenges, Shadowreach is your place. Gather your party, coordinate each hero's skills, and try not to become monster food while protecting the light against the forces of Darkness!
